I'm currently reading The Birth of an Island by Francois Clement. Published in French in 1973. English translation published in 1975 by Simon and Schuster. If you enjoy these holocaust,/last survivors on earth type of novels, this one is good and different. Recommended.—greatdivide46

Ordered everything by John L. Moore from Amazon.com after reading The Breaking of Ezra Riley several times. Also Leaving the Land was one of his best. NonChristian, but very good for parents of social teens: Queen Bee Moms & Kingpin Dads by Rosalind Wiseman (dealing with difficult parents in your child's life). The Five Love Languages of Your Teenager.—sam1229

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. I love a good science fiction novel. I read the first chapter of The War of the Worlds last night, too.—WYMS

The Clumsiest People in Europe: Or, Mortimer's Bad-Tempered Guide to the Victorian World edited by Todd Pruzan. In the late 19th century Mrs Mortimer wrote three books detailing countries of the world and the people who lived in them. Unfortunately, Mrs. Mortimer experienced severe xenophobia, and the books are a collection of misinformed and appalling prejudices. What makes it even more humourous, as well as even more appalling, is Mrs. Mortimer only left her native England twice in her life. Pruzan's book is a selection of Mrs. Mortimer's three books and is an interesting look at prejudice in the Victorian World but also an interesting comment of prejudice in today's society. Also, Million Dollar Dilemma by Judy Baer.—lexie

Demon Lord of Karanda by David Eddings. The Mabinogion, a collection of Welsh traditional/mythological tales. —9drtr

Love in the Time of Cholera. Great so far.—Emanuelle

Loved and am loving them all!—jfaye

I'm on a big biography kick right now. For fun I am reading Queen Elizabeth the Second's biography and also one of the late actress Natalie Wood.—violetlight

The Power of a Praying Woman by Stormie Omartian. Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge. Private Justice by Terri Blackstock. And Ritalin Free Kids (can't do justice to author's name). —frazzledmom

I was in a chat one day, and there was this big hype over a book. I bought it. It was really cheap. It's called 90 Minutes in Heaven. By Don Piper with Cecil Murphey. My hubby and I are reading it together. So far, it's a great book. —mom_of_a_soldier
